Perhaps Slenderman does have a face, but it cannot be picked up by cameras?

That's intensely distressing. No wonder people wouldn't really give him more than a second glance. He's just some tall, bald dude who's got a 'wrong' vibe about him.

My current theory is that TTA is the Slenderman, who is warning J that Tim is Masky.

As far as Masky, I think the evidence is out there clearly that it has to be Tim. Why on Earth would he be wearing that same jacket from three years ago? No idea, but they did want us to notice it. They remark on the fact that he has it on, so clearly our attention is being called to it.

One of my friends thinks that TTA is Alex, or at least a group of people. No one else, though.

Hi. While I'm with you on Masky being Tim. I'm not convinced that he and TTA are the same guy. I'm betting Tim for Masky and Alex for TTA.

[edit] Although for that matter considering his memory loss and such even JAY could be TTA for all we know.[/edit]

In theory, it could be any of the more prominent males working on the movie.

Alex- The director, haunted by Slender Man, goes crazy like all the other victims and puts on the mask to provide the warnings. Like Logan Renault, he starts speaking both for and possibly sometimes against the Slender Man.

Tim- The most likely of suspects. His suspicious acts and conversations put him in a very uncomfortable position right now. The jacket, the pills, his apparant illness and weariness in both entries 17 and 20, they're all pointing to him being TTA.

Brian- Not only has he gone missing, but the House very well may be his. The interior is almost identical to the one from Brian's house in Entry 20, and the tip Jay got on Brian lead him here. Who better than him to camp out his own house?

I think it's pretty indisputable at this point that Masky is Tim, but considering how often TTA uses the word 'us' and how Jay has even called attention to that fact, I'm not buying that TTA and Masky are the same person. (Besides, what personal investment would Tim have in all of this to do it all himself? I think he's in this either because he's friends with whoever TTA may be, or because TTA is controlling/coercing him somehow.)

My list of TTA candidates from most to least likely is Seth/Brian > Alex > Tim > Sarah/Slenderman/Jay. :v

Edit: eh, bunching the last three together because I really don't think it's any of those.

Bah, it's probably that TTA IS someone else... though watch it be Slender Man or something, and Masky IS working for him after all.

I'm not sure anymore. XD Maybe TimMasky is just using the royal 'we' to help showcase his craziness?

I'm curious to see what happens. D: Oh god, only a week left! Argh this is so frustrating, I'm being so impatient.

For some reason, Brian is one person that I'd never considered as being a decent candidate for TTA. He just wandered off, you know? Why would he be so excited to direct Jay around, three years later? For some reason I had always thought that he had been killed... though if he DOES wind up being TTA, and he and Tim are looking for the Ark who happens to be Alex, that'd all jive pretty well and wrap some things up! O_O WHAT WILL IT BEEEEE?

I put Seth and Brian at the top of the list because they're our two "missing people". :v During Alex's speech at the end of Entry 22, the first person he lists as being gone is Seth. Then he mentions Brian. Then Tim, Jay, and Sarah are sort of lumped together as an afterthought. We know that Tim and Jay "got away", and Sarah... well, poor Sarah. Sad But the point is, it's emphasized right there that Seth and Brian are gone. Something happened to Seth in Slenderland, and we don't know what happened to Brian.

I think it's very possible that one or both of them could be dead. We saw Seth get attacked. (I'm not sure I want to believe that that's what killed him though... even Alex made it out of Slenderland fine.) Don't know what could have killed Brian, unless the blood and the bullets were from a suicide (...which would make the "tip about where Brian may be located" a really sick joke o_O.)

I do think that at least one is alive though, and that one of them is TTA. Leaning more toward Seth because we can at least assume he knows about Slenderman. Also, poor him. He spends that whole summer being Alex's bitch and getting yelled at and following him into creepy other dimensions just to get attacked. :c I think he deserves some time in the spotlight. And then Sarah could come back and they could have an ultimate showdown or something! ...yeah.

Brian doesn't seem like he'd have as much of a motive, though it would make sense why Tim would be working with him that way. And judging from the laugh at around 0:45, either Brian-Actor is really bad at fake-laughing or Brian is a Tom Cruise-level maniac.

I've started to not like the TTA == Alex theory as much; I guess it's still plausible, especially if the guys want to take the whole 'WHAT A TWISSSSST :O!" direction, but it just seems kind of unlikely to me.

I like to put the "we" done to the mask forming a type of schizophrenia between Tim and the mask, sorta like Golloum/Smeagol

Entry #9 is the first entry where we see Tim (as well as Sarah and Seth), which some people speculated might mean that TTA was one of them. Other than that, I got nothing. Wouldn't mind asking the guys after the series is over if they're up for a Q&A session.

Likely answer: "It was around #9 that we figured, 'oh man, how about we make some crazy bastard who chases Jay?!' so we set something up and went with it! Very Happy"

Us poor unfiction forumites are going to weep tiny tears when we find out just how much of this wasn't carefully planned. Or, in reverse, if there WAS a hidden message that we were supposed to solve that none of us got. XD

I had always figured that TTA showed up by #9 because he hadn't realized that Jay was posting this stuff until then. Like... Jay was supposed to be an SA goon, right? Unless TTA was ALSO a goon, he wouldn't have found out about the MH youtube channel right at the beginning!

By the way, Spaekle, I loved your chatter a couple of posts back. I didn't have much to add except "Yeah, awesome!" so... for once I shut my yap. You made some good points!

MH as a partial ARG: game IS affected by players. . .
More than has been acknowledged, at least--

Dray, I concur.
Personally, I would girn and scowl and such, probably, in EITHER case: Either if there was a message that in retrospect seems obvious, but we nobody ever figured out, OR if there were NO messages there and we were beating our collective heads against the wall.
WAIT...maybe that explains the blood on the wall in the Hell Basement in Slenderland??

Though many have opined that the series is merely an ARE (without any substantive fan interaction), I think that a number of times videos have been specifically addressing what the fans have been discussing here and (just to be polite, I'll mention) elsewhere. For example, we were debating about whether or not transporting/warping was happening, and lo and behold, we get a video that makes it about as clear as can be that there IS. And still people hold it in dubitity. (Me, too).

Another example of the interaction between players and PMs is when we saw Masky that very first time. Jay later tweeted to emphasize that indeed Masky did ATTACK him, to erase any doubt. . .and to steer players away from ideas that he was trying to hug Jay or whatever....
++++++++++++++++++++++++
On another note, I have tried and tried to see Masky peeking into Jay's window that time, but have seen nary a glimpse. Are we sure about that?? (sorry; I guess you are sure, but I just cannot get my eyes around it.)

Regards, all
*voice echoes eerily; more crickets chirp impertinently*

IMHO, Jay has killed the vim of these forum threads; we just resigned ourselves to wait, mostly, eh?? I think that was the idea: the PMs said, well, I got exams and projects to do for school now, so let's stall for time so they won't keep yammering in impatience!

OK, I'll shut up now.

Probably more coincidence than anything, but I still find it awesome that ###### was all about Masky (As well as him definitely not being adorable) after all of the "Eeeeeh, Maaaaskyyyyy!" fangirling that had been going on directly preceding it. It's not exactly an in character response, but it (along with the text message holdover) makes me think that they do keep an eye out for things to guide where they're headed. It's neat!

I included a couple of screencaps just for thoroughness sake, though I'm sure that someone will trout me for it.

I already waved my pompoms once, but I'll say it again; I don't think that they tossed us the text message to get us to shut up. It's more likely that they wanted to let us know that they weren't going to allow the series to fade off while they were busy. Smile

No worries!
